Need help re: Afghanistan

[vercetti2021]

Yeah this is one of those moments where my cousin who served in the navy going apeshit over the 13 soldiers that were killed. So they blame Biden obviously. Saying he came in and moved back the date to August 31st because he hated Trump so much and yadda yadda. I said well what the fuck are we suppose to do? Getting out was never going to be simple. Just followed by if we stuck to may 1st it wouldn't have gotten more people killed and that Joe is negotiating with the enemy.

I'm like oh my fucking god what do I even respond with? Like I stepped into their echo chamber and interrupted their Biden bashing fest.

My cousin messages me and tells me to refrain from commenting further because what I'm saying is very triggering to her friends with PTSD and whatnot. I'm like okay so basically I can't refute yall because I might upset one of your friends?

1. they choose to be triggered. can't believe there are alternative realities nt

2. Turn off power. Find a book. Any book. Read it.

Rinse and repeat.

3. your cousin is being manipulative.

4. Remind them of what Trump said: 'He knew what he signed up for'

[vercetti2021]

7. Not sure it would matter

They are devoted to the man

5. Trump called them losers and suckers.

Was your cousin triggered by that?

No?

Then ignore them.

6. The rapid advancement of the Taliban surely was

enabled by Trump agreeing to the release of 5000 of them.

If these friends are triggered by talk of the deaths of the thirteen soldiers and marines, maybe they shouldn't be talking about it all until they get more treatment for PTSD.

8. Is it Facebook?

If so, look for the three dots at the top right of your cousin's post. Click them and choose "Snooze Cousin for 30 days".

9. they were trained to deal with it, keep it up

10. Probably pointless, but maybe you could summarize the main points in these videos:

(11 minutes)

(8 minutes 20 seconds)


It's easy to predict events once they are in the past.

Did your cousin post what a mistake changing the deadline was back in April when it was announced? Or did they just determine that was a tactical error in the last couple days?
